suspension rebuild

so am new to the 3rd gen and planning on replacing my suspension right now

i have a 91 b4c camaro with 220k miles

the shocks look like its been replaced with cheap morono ones

so i bought a NOS set of KYB adjustable shocks and a used set of Pro line drop springs

what else i should look into replacing at the same time?

some bushings? the front shock mounts?

Re: suspension rebuild

If you're going to do some of it, you might as well do it all, especially with over 200K miles.

strut mounts
tie rods (all 4)
ball joints
idler arm
sway bar bushings and end links
wheel bearings

If needed, the rotors, pads, brake lines, and either rebuild or replace the calipers.

Re: suspension rebuild

A whole bushing kit for the whole car sin't that expensive. Just go ahead and replace all of the bushings at once.
